Matchday thread: Derby v Blackburn

[ramAnag]

Hope not. Got ten family members going to this one! (It seemed like a good idea at the time !) On the plus side, two of them have never seen Derby lose.

Well there you go. Now you know who it was all down to. Unfortunately the two grandchildren who’ve never seen Derby lose are Berlin based, are returning home tomorrow and won’t be visiting PP again this season. Feel free to organise a whip round to meet the cost of their return flights for all remaining matches.

A pleasure today. Great commitment and not as nerve shredding as it might have sounded. Thought Adams, Fozzy, Phillips and Armstrong were particularly good, but the injuries continue to build. Hope Langas and Armstrong are recovered for Tuesday.

And a couple of quality goals as icing on the cake?? Still any port in a storm

Great result, gives us a small degree of hope.

Frank in town next week. Let's hope his team selection is on a par with Wembley.

I?ve missed three games this season, we?ve won them all. I?m staying away, details of my Just Giving page to follow

Seriously, a battling of not skilful performance, MA may correct me on a technicality but Yates looked offside for the first goal

Hard to say with so many bodies, looked like a foul on him to me, if fozzy hadn't scored I'd have been shouting for a penalty

Oh ye of little faith!

Are you the Chosen One or just another charlatan. Lol

Now to test your 'on a run to the end of the season' assertion, failure and the ducking stool awaits!

[swaledale]

Yes I'm less than confident about that given the horrendous run of injuries that keep happening, but hey one has to believe!

Blackburn was an unexpected, but very welcome, 3 points. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank their supporters for playing their part in this. The inflatable snake waving and the anti JE chants resulted in a very good performance by all 4 sides of the ground and the team was helped as well. The 2 early goals didn't harm us either.

Not out of the woods yet but it's a start.
